' - No. 10,590. EMIGRATION. REPORT FROM THE SELECT COMMITTEE OF THE ROUSE OF COMMONS, ON EMIGRATION FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM.—(Just ptinted.) Your Cominittee are induced to consider, that the fol lowing important facts have been established by the evidence which they have collected for the information of the House : First-'That there are extensive districts in Ireland, and districts in England and Scotland,. where the population is at the present moment redundant; in other words, where there exists a very considerable proportion of able-bodied and active labourers, beyond that number to which any existing deMandior labour can afford employment, That the effect of this, redundancy is not only to reduce a part of this population to a great degree of destitution and misery, but also to deteriorate the general condition of the 'labouring classes. That by its producing a supply of labour in excess as compared with the dethand, the wages of labour are necessarily reduced to a minimum, which is utterly insufficient to supply that population with those means of support and subsistence which are necessary to secure a healthy and , satisfactory condition of the commu nity. That in England this redundant population has been in part supported by a parochial rate, which, according to the Reports and evidence of former Committees specially appointed to confider the subject; threatens, in its extreme tendency, to absorb the whole rental of the country ;-' and that in Ireland, where no such parochial rate exists by law, and where the redundancy is found in a still greater degree, a considerable part, of the population is dependent for the means of support on the precarious source of charity, or is compelled to resort to habits of plunder and spoliation, for the actual means of subsistence. Secondly—That in the British Colonies in North America (including the Canadas, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward's Island), at the Cape of Good Hope, and in New South Wales, and Van Diemen's Land, there are tracts of unappropriated land of the most fertile quality, Capable of receiving and subsisting any proportion of the redUndant population of this country, for whose, conveyance thither, the means could be found at any time, present or future. Thirdly—That while the. English, Scotch, and Irish evidence, taken before your Committee, appears to esta-1 blish.the fact, that this redundant population is practically found to repress the industry, and even sometimes to endanger the peace of the mother country; . the colonial evidence which has been taken by your Committee, uni formly'cOncurs in the opinion, that the indiiitry and the safety of , the colonies will be materially encouraged and preserved by the reception ,of this population. The unemployed labourer at home necessarily consumes more than he produces, and the national wealth is diminished in that proportion. When transferred to new countries, where soil of the first quality of fertility is unappropriated, and where the rate of wiiges is consequently high, it will be, found that he produces infinitely more than he con sumes, and the national wealth will be increased by the change, if the colonies are to be considered u the integral parts of the nation at large. If the foregoing positions be correct, your CoMmittee feel justified in recommending the subject of emigration to the most serious and deliberate consideration of the House, as one obvious and immediate measure for correcting, in itoilladagree,.this-retinzidaacy poptilatiou..aul, for tuiti• gating the numerous evils which appear to result frOm its existence. But in the prosecution of their examination of this most important, and comparatively unexamined, sub ject, they have not had either thetime or the. opportunity to perfect that scope of inquiry, which would justify them in offering to. the House any specific recommendations, with respect to the manner in which it might be conve nient to make any experiment of emigration on an extended scale; they therefore propose to limit themselves to an ex position of the principles by which the examination of the evidence taken before them, has been uniformly directed, and to a short enumeration of the points which have formed distinct objects of inquiry. 'They have considered that no system of emigration could be recoMmended to the attention of Parliament, which was not essentially voluntary on the part of the emigrants, and which did not relate to that part of the community which may be considered to be in a state of permanent pave- They.also consider,that it would be in the highest degree desirable that any expence incurred for the purpose of emigration, to be contributed from national fiinds,should be ultimately repaid : so, that no gratuitous expenditure should be necessary, except in cases which might justifiably be made exceptions to the general rule. It is true, the emigrations carried into effect in 1823 . and 1825, under the superintendence of Mr. Peter Robinson, were sup ported by Parliamentary grants of.money, for which no re payment was pledged ; but those emigrations were neces sary for the purpose of experiment, and the justification of employing public money for that purpose was specially pleaded, on the ground of their being experiments which were . necessary to precede any more extended scheme.— The principal, if not the only,objections which were raised against these experiments, rested on the ground of the expenditure of public money which they involved being unrepaid. • Your Committee, therefore, did not pause to consider the question, whether the benefits which might be ex pected to accrue, both to the mother country and to the colonies, from a measure so calculated to benefit both par ties, -would be sufficient to justify an outlay of national capital; but they proceeded to satisfy themselves with re spect to the actual e x p enditure incurred i n the Emigration of l82:i entirely(x'vh as e s c a d r e ' experiment, d), nd oascertain whether an may be con s id ere d to have equal or a less ex pence incurred in subseque n t c i n i grat i ons could be coupled with arran g e m ents to su p ersede t h e ne cessitythey enter repayment.tai l o nthis il lustration part of the subje c t, they beg to refer to t he f ollowin g extract from of any of t the views nationals outl ay ‘ vhi an origi na l paper, which was laid before the Committee of 1823, on the employment of the poor in Ireland, which is given at length in the Appendix to this Report:— . s' It considered as unquestionable, that although this mea sure is nut in the slightest degree compulsory' that the poor man who otters his strength add en ergy as a labourer, hut who finding 119 dem and: or at least no adequate demand, for his services, is corn- Pilled to re e • •f • the preservation of his own ewe parish relief' in cli swoce'and that of hit; famil will accept thi s o pp ortunit y of bettering hi s condition, h Y a and ) ng the foundation f or future ride-rid e- POdeoce, with - - gratitude, when suffyietit time has elapsed,and pro him trader been taken to make stand the true proper pain* hat is proposed ite nature an ter of t h e c h an ge t for him. ac . , "It its equally consider e d as certain, that parishes w ill anxiously- i \ c accept this f ac ili ty (as far as their own concurrence is require") 7 relieVing themselves at and pressing redund ancy' of population, and , also of securing or accumulation of labourers whose services they A alight annual expellee, of .any present f the future the' efferttual prevention supplied by this measure- for al/- remunerating. • ' .

"It is also observe& that with such a system in regular and effective operation, no inconvenience could ever again result to this country from a temporary stimulus b e i ng g i ve n a t any time to the population which could not Permanently be sustained. It . must not be forgotten, in a compreh ens i ve v i ew o f suc h a system, that the pauper,lor, whose labour no remunerat i on can be afforded at . home, will be transmitted by this process into an independent pro prietor, and at no distant pet iod will b ecome a consumer of the manufactured articles of his native country; DM, the other hind, can any calculable period b e ass'igiied for the termination of such a, system, until all the colonies of the British empire. are satu rated, and millions added to thOse who speak the English lan guage, and carry with them the liberty and _the laws and sym pathies of their native country. " Such a system would direct the tide of emigration towards parts of the British empire which must be considered as integral, !hough separated by geographical position. The defence of there colonial possessions would be more easily supplied within them-, selves, and their increasing prosperity would not only relieve the mother country from pecuniary demande that are now indispens able, but that prosperity in its re-action would augment the wealth and the resources of the mother country itself." `The number of emigrants sent out in 1823, was 182 men, 14 , 3 women, 57 boys between fourteen and eighteen, and 186 children under fourteen, forming together an ag gregate of 568. The expenee.aclually incurred for this emigration amounted to 12,5931. 35., which was at the rate of 22/. 16.6 d. per head; the estimate on which the vote was taken, was at the rate of 80/. per family, taking the proportion of a man, a woman, and two children for each family. That estimate had been calculated with re- Terence to the following details: , --a man 35/., a woman 25/., two children 14/. each, forming a total of 88/., from Which a deduction had been made of a little more than nine per cent., on the supposition that a combined emigra tion would be found to be less expensive than an indivi dual case ; but the total absence of all previous prepara tions, and a high rate of passage, carried the actual ex pence beyond the estimate. It will, however, be observ ed; with respect to the emigrants actually sent out, that the men were beyond the proportion estimated ; if that proportion. had been preserved, the numbers would have been 142 men, 142 women, end 284 chil4ren, .conse quently the actual expellee Would have been 12,496/. in stead 0f.13,3471., and, in that case the positive excess over the estimate would have amounted to 1,1361. Various reasons have induced your Committee to make the ealcu. lations at the rate of 201. per head; in making their cal culations at that rate, which has peculiar, relation to . the , colony of Upper Canada, your Committee beg it may 'be distinctly understood, that an opinion is not expressed that an emigration might not be carried on to Upper Canada at a still less rate of expenee; for by taking the proportion in nal* family at three children, which your Committee have reason to believe would be found to be a more accurate proportion than two children to each family, the , ixpence would nocessvily.lereduceci proportiplu. 404,44,44,0 k,,. Rut your Committee are also of (Tinton, that previous arrange ments, contracts upon en extended scale. especially if made for a series of years, and order and method introduced into the whole of the system, would enable a less sum to effect that which has been actually effected in the ease of the emigration of 1823, where no facilities existed, except in time assistance of the local government of Upper Collects, and in the zeal and exertions of the superin• teudent, Mr. Peter Robinson. Your Committee would also observe, that the calculation of ex pence must necessarily vary it every different colony ; it would be diminished in Lower Canada, in new Brunswick, in Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward's Island ; but if 80/. be taken as the maxi- mum expense necessary to. convey one man, one woman, and two children, only to Upper Canada, and if the evidence should show that " that maximum," can he repaid, it follows, a fortiori, that any minor expence can be repaid with greater ease. With respect to New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land, the distance naturally creating so much additional expence in the passage, the ealciditions applicable to North America in no degree whatever apply to these Colonies. With respect to the Cape, the emigration contemplated has been an emigration of labourers rather than of Colonists ; which equally makes the cal culation of Upper Canada ,inapplicable, to that colony. Your CoMmittee hive supposed that the sum of SOL could be raised on annuity of a 10s. 9d. for sixty years, interest being taken at four per cent. ; and under the supposition that such an annuity could be raised, their inquiries were directed to the question, whether, supposing that the payment of such an annuity for the first seven years were secured, the situation of the emigrant head of a family would be such as to enable him to M i d er take the payment of this annuity for the remainder of the period, in liquidation of the debt contracted for him for his removal from the mother country to the colony, and this without any prejudice or inconvenience to himself, it being provided, as a necessary collateral arrangenient, that he might redeem that annuity at any time on the common principles of redemption, thereby freeing his land from the charges which otherwise would contingently attach to it. An examination of the evidence before your Committee will show that a large majority of the evidence which has been ob.. tained upon this subject is in favour of such a repayment being practicable, and that there would be little difficulty in collecting it, provided it were to be clearly explained that it was in the na ture of a repayment of a debt contracted, rather than in the cha racter of tent for land. It will also be found to be generally stat ed, that in the case of an emigrant leaving the land at the expira tion of seven years, when the repeyMent brthe terms of the pro position would commence, the improvement of his cultivation for seven years would make the land itself an adequate security for such repayment. It may be necessary to mention in this place, that, with respect the emigrant, your. Committee never to the sum advanced by contemplated all'actual repayment of money to be transmitted to England, but a payment which should be applied in the Colony for purposes which it is now necessary to deffay exclusively from the funds of the mother country. In pursuing the subject' in this point of View, your Committee were not only influenced by the consideration of the advantage of securing a practical rePay ntent of any money which' might be' *applied froM the national funds for, this national object, but Also by the conviction that the industry of the 'emigrant woad he more effectually stimulated and confirmed by subj ec ti ng him to the repayment of th e gr ee t e r part of th e d e bt i netirrt d , t h e par tic u lars and trimmer which debt could ha di st i nct l y exp l a i ne d t o hini,previo us l y to his b e i ug re ceived as a catididate for emigration, and which debt, if it be duly analyXed, will not b e f ou nd t o differ in principl e 'f rom an y ot h er debt whi c h may be incurred by any individual for the object of bettering his own condition and that of him family The inquiries of your Conimittee were then directed to the con sideration, w h et h er the payment o f th e enmity fo r th e fi rat per i o d , namely, sev en years, C ou l d h e o b ta i ne d fro m t h ose parties at home who *ere' specially benefitted by 'the removal o f th e redundant population. Your committee feel it hardly necessary to observe, ' than the easel of Englanil, Ireland, and 'Sentlemil; essentially differ from each other in this respect: In England, the poor rate affords ' an immediate fund whi c h: eau b e made applicable to the tepaytnent of any expence incurred for emigration : the evidence of Mr. Hodges, the Chairinart of the West Kent Quarter Sessions, is so copious and satisfactory upon this subject, that your Committee have only to call the particular attention of the House to it ; and although Mr. Hodges' observations are limited to to a particular district in Kent and Stiesti, it Will he found that the principle will ap ply gentially Wally part of England where e redundant l a tion'is found to exist. In 'Scotland a poor rate exists, though I la modified by. local circumstances, and so varying in its PrectiCal execution, as to make it very doubtful whether it could be' made • r . • - ' , • . •,,. ~ -", ~' a• 4 "Os • , -7,4 `-N ,, -- io- - i llozi• . _ . .••*,,. 0 , ..,• • k I -...-- "7"1„ -...

In Ireland, the case is entirely different; nothing in the na ture of a poor rate exista by law; and, there f ore, voluntary eon . sent on the part of the proprietors of land towards any contribu tion for the purpose of emigration, must there, as well as in Scot land, be indispensable. In the case of Ireland, whether such vo- lunary contributions: were made by individuals, or by local as- seasnients, to ,which individuals might be consentient, the prin ciple of voluntary content still remainsinecessary as part of the ineaaure. Your Committee, therefore, beg to call the particular attention of the House to the very important evidence Which they have received with respect to the state of that country. It will is found uniformly stited in that evidence, that the evil; of pan• perism are. not less felt in Ireland, inconsequence of the-non existence of a parochial fund for the support of the poor ; all the attributes of the most unbounded pauperism are to be found there; mendicancy, with, all its train of evils, occasional outrage, habits of idleness, even in those for whose labour some demand exists, and a character of destitution and winery pervading all the lower claws of society. It is also to be observed, that in a pe. colliery point of view an indirect burthen is imposed upon that pert of the country where a redundant population exists. Your Committee, therefore, trust, that the most deliberate attention of the proprietors of land in Ireland will be called to this subject, and that they may he induced to make voluntary contributions for the purpose of emigration, as a relief from those burthens which, though not legally imposed, are yet . found practically to press upon them from the superabundance of the pauper popu lation. - ' Your Committee at the same time are fully aware that neither the parishes in England or Scotland, nor districts or proprietors of land in Leland, will be induced to contribute for this purpose, unless it can be demonstrably shown that theii- - ,interests, both general and pecus;ary, will be benefitted by such contribution. Your Committee have no hesitation t in expressing the opinion, that the general tenour of the evidence received justifies the expec tation that such benefit will be thereby derived. There is, however, one special point of view, with reapect to Ireland, to which yoUr Committee feel it necessary to call the at tentioilt of the House ; it ie that of a proprietor who is legally en titled to eject a redundant pauper population, 'Which has been sur reptitiously introduced into his property, but who, at the same time that he feels that his own interest and that of his family are materially involved in the removal of this population, shrinks from the exercise of his undoubted legal right, from his dread of cianse quences which must attach to them from their removal. In such a state of circumstances, which your Committee have reason to believe is not of unfrequent occurrence, it may be con templated the public advantage that would be derived from enabling such a measure on the part of an individual to be carried into effect, to the mutual benefit of the party dispossessing and of the party dispossessed, and the most confident expectation is enter,- tained that a careful examination into this part, of the subject, on the part of the Irish proprietors, will convince them that their own interests will be consulted by a contribution towards the expence of the emigration of such tenants. With reference to this particular part of the tinkled, your Com mittee beg to advert to an Act passed in the present Sessioni tituled, " An Act to amend the Law of Ireland respecting the As signment and Sub-letting of Lands and Tenements." This Ad was specially founded up o n the evidence taken before the Qint. . _ mittees on the state of Ireland, and has met with the entire con currence of both Houses of Parliament. lt provides against the recurrence of the-evil which has been described in the,preceding paragraphs. But the House will not fail to reMark, that all the advantages that may be derived from this Act will be diminished, if not rendered absolutely nugatory, unless a well organized system of Emigration should he established concurrently with the Inca- sure itself. With respect to the disposition of the tenantry eject etfunder Such circumstances, your Committee have to observe that the uniform testimony they . have received from the evidence, from the petitions submitted to them, and from other sources of infisrmatiou. has induced theta to believe gust the knowledge. which is now generally disseminate, of the advantage, which the emigranta of 1823 and 1825 have experienced, will be sufficient to induce nut only any paupers who may be ejected under such circumstances, but all of the mere destitute classes of the impute tioii in Ireland, to avail themselves with the utmost gratitude of any facilities which may he. afforded for emigration. On this point your Committee beg to tranerribe an extract from a letter address ed by Colonel Talbot, the founder of the Talbot Settlement -in Upper Canada, to a member,of your Committee, with respect to the emigration oflB2B.and 1825 accompanied Sir Pere grinelllaitland last winter on a tour, of inspection to the new Irish . emigrant settlements, about 100 miles below York. I was anxious to see how they were getting on, and whether the scheme of tran sporting the poor of Ireland to this cbtintry was likely to prove beneficial or not, and was happy to find them doing admirably. These people were sent out last summer, about 2,000 souls, and did not get on their land until late, in November ; all of them that I saw had snug log huts, and had chopped each between three and four acres, and s I have every reason to think that they , will realize a comfortable independence in the course of this year, and be of no further cost to the government ; and it was satisfactory to hear them expressing their gratitude for what was done for them." To revert to the subject of the repayment, by the emigrants, of part of the expence incurred. Your Committee are fully aware that such 'repayment could alone he made practicable under tbe circumstance of an adequote market being found for the in creased productions of the colonies, arising from the cultivation of the land by each' successive series of emigrants ; they have, therefore; directed a very extensive examination into this portico. lar branch of inquiry. The evidence of Mr, Uniacke upon this subject, as connected with the Fisheries, will be found to be very interesting and satisfactory. .• Your ComMittee thought it of parimount importance to in quire Whither the result of Emigration on an extended scale, car 7 tied into effect from year to year by fresh importations of emi.. grants, would not involve a material diminution of the expence iry curred in each successive year, with reference to the numbers emigrating; and whether, in point of fact, a well organized sys tem of emigration once established, would not carry itself on without extraneous assistance, or at least with assistance reduced trze very small amount, as compared with its original amount. Their inquiries, therefore, have been especially directed to this point; and it will he found that the general tenor of the evi dence is in favour of the probability of a material diminution of expence in each successive year., Your Committee being fully aware that one popular objection which is continually offered to any system of Emigration on an extended scale,. is the argument,, that the benefit would be only temporary, and that the temporery vacuum would ; be rapidly filled up, felt it necessary to direct their inquiries ,to the consi deration of such collateral measures, both of a legislative and of a practi4i nature, as might he calculated to repress, if not to preveot, that tendency; they have therefore pursued their in quiries very extensively, and have been fortunate enough to col lect very valuable evidence on this branch of the subject.. Your Committee were also ewers that a popular objection ex ists to Emigra tion on the ground, that the numbers.to he taken away for the purpose of producing any benefit, must be necessarily so gres — t as to preytnt: the possibility of any practical measure suf ficient for the purpose. Your Committee therefore, (without ex pressing any opinion whatever on this point) hrive 'directed their inquiries to this investigation, as comprising an' element of pri mary importance in the eptisideration,of Emigration as o national measure. . This part of the subject may be illiistrated by the following hy pothetical statement.

They have therefore made particular inquiries on these points : and here they have again to revert to the valuable evidence of Mi. Hodges. who has shown that voluntary efforts have already been made for this special purpose; that within his knowledge, pal hales, have furnished money from the poor-rates for the purpose of facilitat ing Emigration ; and that the emigrants, availing themselves of those facilities, had proceeded to the United States of America. Your Committee presume that it would be unnecessary to argue in favour of any determination of Emigrants to our own colonies, provided it can be shown that the expence necessary to he incur red will not be tai great as that which is necessity in their re • moral to the United States. An application *was made to yuur Committee by the Colom bian Agricultural Association, with reference to the subject of re ceiving Emigrants on the lands located to them in Colombia ; and your Committee beg to refer to the evidence of Sir Rober t • Wil son upon this point. Your Committee beg also to inform the House, that during the ,okitee of their investigation, they received an application from Mr. Chambers; a Police Magistrate, requesting to be examined upon the subject cif -that numerous class of persons in the Metro polis, chiefly under age, whit, being thrown upon the streets in perfect destitution, soon resort to crimes for their support. A class so numerous, and whose-vase is on lamentable, deserves the attention of Parliament as one of those special eases which Must be either left to the benevolence' of charitable- institutions, or of Parliament, to supply those funds for the'first period of Emigra tion, which (as already explained) the Committee are disposed to recommend, should be furnished by the individirals specially hene fitted by the removal of the Emigrants. They would also beg to refer to the evidence of Mr. Bodkin, the Secretary of the Alendicity Society, upon this subject. It will he observed, front the examination of the evidence, that in the event Of any general measure of Emigration being carried into effect, it has been suggested to the. Committee, that awed legislative measures might, under. certain modifications, be intro duced as auxiliaries to the'object ; such, for example, as to en able parishes in England to mortgage their poor-rates, for the par pose of forming a fund for the emigration of their poor; to ett able tenants for life in Ireland and Scotland to charge their estates for that object ; to enable parishes in Ireland and Scotland to ef fect a similar charge, subject to the consent of some definite pro portion of the contributors; to provide some means for regulating the erection of cottages in those agricultural parishes where rates may be mortgaged for the purposes of emigration ; to establish a Board of Emigration, with protectors of emigrants ; to hold a lien on the lands allotted to the emigrants as a security until the original debt be liquidated, such lien to he in the nature of a land tax redeemable at any time at a certain rate of redemption ; to legalise apprenticeships, in no case to exceed seven years, (hiring which one-fourth of the wages received by the apprentice should be set apart by the master in liquidation of the expence incurred in the transport of the emigrant, such apprenticeships only to continue until that expence shall have been liquidated, and atter that period the apprentice to he entirely free. Your Committee beg finally to express their decided conviction, that the circulation of their Report, and of th,Minutes of Evi dence, throughout the United Kingdom and Tie Colonies, will enable any future Committee to resume the subject with the means of proposing measures sufficiently definitd to justify their recom mendation of them to the House for its adoption. . • COUNTRY CORN•MARKETS DIMINO LAST WEEK.
